Setting groovysh classpath from a pom

I have a java project (not using groovy) but I'd like to interactively play with my java classes within groovysh. Is there an e开发者_开发知识库asy way to use the pom from my project to set the classpath of groovysh?

Just for the record, I've found a way to do it which I consider much more elegant when the project uses the gmaven-plugin: run mvn groovy:shell and you're ready to issue commands with the same classpath available to groovysh as the one available to the project in question!

MOP might help:

Scripting Goodies

Other times, you just need need the CLASSPATH so you can use it in a manually crafted script your running. Try this.

mop classpath org.apache.camel:camel-example-pojo-messaging

Update: The above command can be used to output the classpath of an existing maven artefact. For example:

$ ./mop classpath org.hibernate:hibernate-core:3.3.2.GA

Prints the following output:

/home/pascal/opt/mop/repository/org/hibernate/hibernate-core/3.3.2.GA/hibernate-core-3.3.2.GA.jar:/home/pascal/opt/mop/repository/antlr/antlr/2.7.6/antlr-2.7.6.jar:/home/pascal/opt/mop/repository/commons-collections/commons-collections/3.1/commons-collections-3.1.jar:/home/pascal/opt/mop/repository/dom4j/dom4j/1.6.1/dom4j-1.6.1.jar:/home/pascal/opt/mop/repository/xml-apis/xml-apis/1.0.b2/xml-apis-1.0.b2.jar:/home/pascal/opt/mop/repository/javax/transaction/jta/1.1/jta-1.1.jar:/home/pascal/opt/mop/repository/org/slf4j/slf4j-api/1.5.8/slf4j-api-1.5.8.jar

That can be used somewhere else. As I said, it might help but I'm not 100% sure it will suit your needs (it seems the artifact needs to be deployed in a remote repo).

You can add them to classpath with -cp e.g.

groovysh -cp some.jar:another.jar
